The Tech Startup Phenomenon: Where Do You Stand?

My team and I produce a lot of online content for both of our sites (ITtechExec and NoddlePlace), from blog posts to podcasts to webinars, and we engage in many group discussions on LinkedIn and in Twitter chats.

Time and again one of the most popular topics among today’s technical leaders has to do with startups.

It seems everyone has some opinion about the general internal culture at startups and whether they are the better work environment.

So to get a better sense of where my network lies on this issue, we published the following blog post earlier this year, and I am looking for your comments.

What say you? Would you like to work for one? Have you worked for one, and if so, was it a good or bad experience? What are some key things to consider in choosing one?

We had a lively discussion on our ITtechExec Facebook page when the article first posted, much of which resulted in the majority of respondents stating that startups were “great, but be prepared to wear many, many hats.” Do you concur?

Add your comments here or at the link below. Any insight you can share would be great!
